Question
question 6 (5 points) which type of seismic waves are confined at the surface? a) s waves b) p waves c) rayleigh waves and love waves d) dispersive waves question 7 (5 points) which statement accurately describes a p wave? a) a p wave can travel through liquids.
Seismic surface - waves include Rayleigh and Love waves. P - waves (primary waves) are body - waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S - waves (secondary waves) are body - waves that can only travel through solids. Dispersive waves is a more general term not specific to surface - confined seismic waves in this context. For P - waves, they are compressional waves and can travel through liquids.
